Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a faucet with an automatic water storage function. Background Technology
[0002] Faucets are widely used in daily life for obtaining water. They can also be used in conjunction with water treatment equipment such as water purifiers. In practice, users typically use a kettle to fetch water from the faucet, but this requires holding the kettle to the bottom of the faucet to collect the water. This results in a relatively long waiting time and a poor user experience. Therefore, this application aims to design a technology that allows users to directly obtain water while reducing waiting time, thus improving convenience and user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a faucet with an automatic water storage function, so as to enable users to directly draw water, reduce user waiting time, and improve user convenience and experience.

[0007] In one embodiment, the switch module further includes a swing arm and a plug, the swing arm being rotatably mounted on the housing, and the plug being mounted on the swing arm; The float is configured to abut against the swing arm after the water level in the tank reaches a set height, so that the plug seals the drain hole.
[0008] In one embodiment, the switch module further includes a support frame disposed on the elastic diaphragm and located in the second cavity.
[0009] In one embodiment, the support frame is further provided with a connecting pipe, which passes through the connecting hole; The first cavity and the second cavity are connected by the connecting pipe.
[0010] In one embodiment, the diameter of the connecting pipe decreases along the direction of the water flow channel.
[0011] In one embodiment, a protruding mounting tube is provided on the top of the housing, and the water inlet channel extends into the mounting tube; The installation pipe extends to the outside of the water tank.
[0012] In one embodiment, the outer casing includes a housing and a bottom cover. The housing is provided with the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel. The bottom cover is provided with the drain hole. The bottom of the housing is a fixing port. The bottom cover is detachably mounted on the fixing port.
[0013] In one embodiment, a switching valve is also included; The switching valve is provided with an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet, and the switching valve is configured to switch the inlet to be connected to either the first outlet or the second outlet; The switching valve is mounted on the mounting body, the first outlet is connected to the first outlet pipe, and the second outlet is connected to the inlet channel.
[0014] In one embodiment, the water inlet pipe extends into the mounting body and is connected to the water inlet.
[0015] In one embodiment, the water storage container is provided with a connecting pipe, the lower end of the connecting pipe forms the water inlet, the upper end of the connecting pipe forms the installation port, and the connecting pipe is connected to the water storage container. A first control valve is provided in the connecting pipe. The first control valve includes a first valve body, a first valve core, and a first return spring. The first valve core is slidably disposed in the first valve body. The first valve core is configured to open and close the inlet of the first valve body. The first return spring is disposed in the first valve body and configured to apply a spring force to the first valve core in the direction of the inlet of the first valve body. A second control valve is provided in the second outlet pipe. The second control valve includes a second valve body, a second valve core, and a second return spring. The second valve core is slidably disposed in the second valve body. The second valve core is configured to open and close the outlet of the second valve body. The second return spring is disposed in the second valve body and configured to apply a spring force to the second valve core in the direction of the outlet of the second valve body. With the water storage container mounted on the mounting body, the first valve body is away from the inlet of the first valve body, and the second valve body is away from the outlet of the second valve body; With the water storage container removed from the mounting body, the first valve body blocks the inlet of the first valve body, and the second valve body blocks the outlet of the second valve body.
[0016] In one embodiment, a first push rod is provided on the first valve core, and the first push rod extends to the outside of the water storage container; when the water storage container is installed on the mounting body, the first push rod abuts against the second valve body; Alternatively, a second push rod is provided on the second valve core, and the second push rod extends to the outside of the second water outlet pipe; when the water storage container is installed on the mounting body, the second push rod abuts against the first valve body.
[0017] In one embodiment, the mounting body is further provided with a support base; With the water storage container mounted on the mounting body, the support base supports the water storage container.
[0018] By installing a first and a second water outlet pipe on the main body, the first outlet pipe can meet the user's regular water connection requirements, while the second outlet pipe can meet the requirements for supplying water to the storage container. The water level control component installed on the main body can indirectly detect the water level in the storage container. The water source injects water into the outer shell through the inlet channel and flows into the water tank through the outlet channel. The water in the water tank supplies water to the storage container through the second outlet pipe. As the water level in the storage container rises above the set water level, the float in the water tank will rise to block the drain hole and then use the elastic diaphragm to block the inlet of the outlet channel. At this time, the water source can no longer supply water to the water tank through the outlet channel and will stop supplying water to the storage container. The water level control component can automatically shut off the water inlet after the storage container reaches the set water level. The entire water storage process does not require the user to hold the container and supervise. The user can handle other matters during the water storage period, which significantly reduces the user's waiting time and fundamentally improves the inconvenience of traditional water collection methods.
[0019] The water storage container is detachably installed on the main unit. After the water is filled, the user can directly remove the water storage container to use the water inside without having to transfer the water from the water storage container to other appliances, reducing the number of operation steps. At the same time, the detachable design also makes it easy to clean and maintain the water storage container, ensuring water quality and hygiene, and further improving the user experience.
[0020] The water level control component enables precise monitoring of the water level in the storage container, effectively preventing water overflow caused by user forgetfulness or operational negligence. This not only saves water resources but also prevents safety hazards such as slippery ground and equipment damage caused by overflow, thus improving the reliability and safety of the component.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] like Figures 1-13 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a faucet with an automatic water storage function, comprising: Installation body 1, wherein a first water outlet pipe 11 and a second water outlet pipe 12 are provided on the installation body 1; A water storage container 3 is provided with a water inlet 31, which is connected to the water storage container 3. A water level control component 4 includes a water tank 41, a float 42, and a switch module 43. A water supply pipe 411 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 41. The switch module 43 includes a housing 431 and an elastic diaphragm 432. The housing 431 has an inlet channel 4311, an outlet channel 4312, and a drain hole 4313. The elastic diaphragm 432 has a connecting hole 4321 and a sealing part 4322. The elastic diaphragm 432 is disposed within the housing 431 and divides the interior of the housing 431 into a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are connected through the connecting hole 4321. The water inlet channel 4311 and the water outlet channel 4312 are respectively connected to the first cavity. The drain hole 4313 is connected to the second cavity. The elastic diaphragm 432 is configured to open and close the inlet of the water outlet channel 4312 through the sealing part 4322. The switch module 43 and the float 42 are disposed in the water tank 41. The float 42 is located below the switch module 43 and is configured to switch the drain hole 4313 using the water level in the water tank 41. The water storage container 3 is detachably mounted on the mounting body 1; with the water storage container 3 mounted on the mounting body 1, the water inlet 31 is connected to the second water outlet pipe 12. The water tank 41 is mounted on the mounting body 1, and the water inlet channel 4311 is connected to the second water outlet pipe 12.
[0026] Specifically, the mounting body 1 serves as a supporting component for installation and is installed on a countertop or sink in the user's home. The mounting body 1 is equipped with a first water outlet pipe 11, which can output water to allow the user to hold a container and collect water from below the first water outlet pipe 11; the mounting body 1 is also equipped with a second water outlet pipe 12, which can automatically fill the water storage container 3 placed on the mounting body 1.
[0027] During use, water from the user's home water supply (such as a water purifier or tap water) enters the first outlet pipe 11 and is then discharged outwards through it. For the second outlet pipe 12, the water from the water supply first enters the water level control component 4. The switch module 43 in the water level control component 4 controls the opening and closing of the outlet channel 4312 based on the water level in the water storage container 3, thereby controlling the water inflow into the water storage container 3.
[0028] The specific usage process of water level control component 4 is explained with reference to the attached diagram.
[0029] The switch module 43 in the water level control assembly 4 allows water to enter through the inlet channel 4311. Water flows into the outer casing 431 and into the first cavity through the inlet channel 4311. On one hand, the water in the first cavity exerts water pressure on the elastic diaphragm 432, causing the elastic diaphragm 432 to move away from the inlet of the outlet channel 4312. On the other hand, the water in the first cavity enters the second cavity through the connecting hole 4321 and flows into the water tank 41 through the drain hole 4313. At this time, due to the influence of water pressure, the elastic diaphragm 432 deforms and moves away from the inlet of the outlet channel 4312, so that the water in the first cavity mainly flows out of the outer casing 431 through the outlet channel 4312 and enters the water tank 41. The water tank 41 delivers water to the second outlet pipe 12 through the bottom water supply pipe 411, so as to supply water to the water storage container 3 through the second outlet pipe 12.
[0030] As the water level in the water storage container 3 rises, the liquid level in the water storage container 3 becomes the same as the liquid level in the water tank 41, and the float 42 in the water tank 41 rises accordingly. As the water level in the water storage container 3 rises, the float 42 also rises in height within the water tank 41. When the water level in the water storage container 3 reaches its highest point, the float 42 rises to a specific position to cover the drain hole 4313 on the outer shell 431. With the drain hole 4313 covered, the second cavity fills with water. At this point, the elastic diaphragm 432 resets under its own elasticity, blocking the inlet of the water outlet channel 4312. Therefore, the outer shell 431 will no longer inject water into the water tank 41 through the water outlet channel 4312 or the connecting hole 4321, thus achieving automatic control of the water level in the water storage container 3.
[0031] The water level in the water storage container 3 is indirectly detected by the water level control component 4. When the water level in the water storage container 3 is higher than the set water level height, the second water outlet pipe 12 will be closed to inject water into the water storage container 3, thereby achieving complete independence from manual operation.
[0032] Taking a 2L water volume as an example, in the traditional method, the user needs to hold the kettle under the tap for about 60 seconds (calculated at a normal water flow rate of 2L / min), and cannot leave the water source during the process. However, with the second water outlet pipe 12 automatically filling the water storage container 3, the user only needs to place the water storage container 3 on the main installation body 1 and supply water to the water storage container 3 through the second water outlet pipe 12, and then the user can leave. The subsequent water filling process can be completely automated, and the user can simultaneously complete other tasks such as preparing tea and tidying up tableware without having to wait in person. Furthermore, once the water level in the water storage container 3 reaches the set water level, the second water outlet pipe 12 will be shut off, improving the user's convenience and experience.
[0033] In one embodiment, to facilitate water supply to the first water outlet pipe 11 and the second water outlet pipe 12, the mounting body 1 is also equipped with a water inlet pipe 14. The water inlet pipe 14 is configured to selectively supply water to the first water outlet pipe 11 and the second water outlet pipe 12.
[0034] Specifically, the inlet pipe 14 is connected to the water supply source, and the water output from the water supply source is input into the faucet through the inlet pipe 14. The inlet pipe 14 will deliver the water to the first outlet pipe 11 and the second outlet pipe 12 according to the water demand.
[0035] In some embodiments, in order to control the supply of water to the first water outlet pipe 11 and the second water outlet pipe 12, the faucet also includes a switching valve 2; The switching valve 2 is provided with an inlet 21, a first outlet 22 and a second outlet 23. The switching valve 2 is configured to switch the inlet 21 to be connected to the first outlet 22 or the second outlet 23. The switching valve 2 is mounted on the mounting body 1. The first outlet 22 is connected to the first outlet pipe 11, and the second outlet 23 is connected to the inlet channel 4311.
[0036] Specifically, the switching valve 2 is installed in the mounting body 1. The switching valve 2 can switch the flow direction of the water. The water inlet pipe 14 extends into the mounting body 1 and is connected to the water inlet 21. The water delivered by the water inlet pipe 14 first enters the switching valve 2, which switches the connection between the water inlet 21 and the first water outlet 22, or between the water inlet 21 and the second water outlet 23. When the water inlet 21 is connected to the first water outlet 22, water is output from the first water outlet pipe 11. When the water inlet 21 is connected to the first water outlet 22, the water input by the water inlet 21 is first delivered to the outer casing 431 and then from the water tank 41 to the second water outlet pipe 12 to finally enter the water storage container 3.
[0037] In one embodiment, the first cavity is arranged above the second cavity, and the drain hole 4313 is arranged at the bottom of the outer casing 431.
[0038] Specifically, the water transported by the inlet pipe 14 enters the first cavity through the inlet channel 4311. Under the action of gravity, the water enters the second cavity below through the connecting hole 4321 and flows into the water tank 41 through the drain hole 4313 at the bottom of the second cavity.
[0039] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate control via the float 42, the switch module 43 further includes a swing arm 433 and a plug 434. The swing arm 433 is rotatably mounted on the housing 431, and the plug 434 is mounted on the swing arm 433. The float 42 is configured to abut against the swing arm 433 after the water level in the water tank 41 reaches a set water level height, so that the plug 434 blocks the drain hole 4313.
[0040] Specifically, a plug 434 is provided on the swing arm 433. The plug 434 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone. The swing arm 433 can swing up and down at the bottom of the housing 431. The plug 434 is installed on the swing arm 433 and located below the vent.
[0041] During use, when the water level in the water tank 41 rises, causing the float 42 to rise, the float 42 will push upward against the swing arm 433, causing the swing arm 433 to rotate. The swing arm 433 will then block the drain hole 4313 through the plug 434. To increase the force exerted by the float 42 on the swing arm 433 and thus increase the squeezing force of the plug 434 on the drain hole 4313, the plug 434 is installed near the pivot of the swing arm 433. In this way, by utilizing the principle of leverage, a small force can be applied to the swing arm 433 through the float 42, while a large pressure can be applied to the drain hole 4313 through the plug 434, thereby reliably closing the drain hole 4313 through the plug 434.
[0042] In one embodiment, the switch module 43 further includes a support frame 435, which is disposed on the elastic diaphragm 432 and located in the second cavity.
[0043] Specifically, in order to provide support for the elastic diaphragm 432 and prevent excessive deformation caused by water pressure, a support frame 435 can be provided on the elastic diaphragm 432. The support frame 435 is located in the second cavity. When the elastic diaphragm 432 deforms under water pressure, the support frame 435 will support the elastic diaphragm 432, thereby preventing excessive deformation and damage to the elastic diaphragm 432.
[0044] In some embodiments, the support frame 435 is further provided with a connecting pipe 4351, which passes through the connecting hole 4321; The first cavity and the second cavity are connected by the connecting pipe 4351.
[0045] Specifically, to prevent the connecting hole 4321 from closing and failing when the elastic diaphragm 432 deforms, a connecting pipe 4351 can be provided on the support frame 435. The connecting pipe 4351 passes through the connecting hole 4321 and extends into the first cavity. This allows the connecting hole 4321 to connect the first cavity and the second cavity through the connecting pipe 4351, ensuring that the first cavity and the second cavity remain connected even when the elastic diaphragm 432 undergoes elastic deformation.
[0046] Furthermore, the diameter of the connecting pipe 4351 decreases along the direction of water flow. Specifically, the diameter of the connecting pipe 4351 gradually decreases along the direction of water flow. This ensures that, while maintaining communication between the first cavity and the second cavity, the water input into the first cavity via the inlet channel 4311 mainly flows out of the outer shell 431 through the outlet channel 4312.
[0047] In one embodiment, a protruding mounting tube 4314 is provided on the top of the outer casing 431, and the water inlet channel 4311 extends into the mounting tube 4314; The mounting pipe 4314 extends to the outside of the water tank 41.
[0048] Specifically, in order to facilitate the connection between the housing 431 and the second outlet 23 of the diversion valve, an additional mounting pipe 4314 is provided on the housing 431 to extend to the outside of the water tank 41, so as to connect to the second outlet 23 of the diversion valve through a water pipe.
[0049] In one embodiment, to facilitate the installation of related components in the housing 431, the housing 431 includes a shell 4315 and a bottom cover 4316. The shell 4315 is provided with the water inlet channel 4311 and the water outlet channel 4312. The bottom cover 4316 is provided with the drain hole 4313. The bottom of the shell 4315 is a fixing port (unmarked), and the bottom cover 4316 is detachably mounted on the fixing port.
[0050] Specifically, the outer shell 431 adopts a split structure. When assembling the elastic diaphragm 432, the bottom cover 4316 can be removed from the shell 4315, the elastic diaphragm 432 can be installed into the shell 4315, and then the bottom cover 4316 can be assembled into the fixing port of the shell 4315. At this time, the outer periphery of the elastic diaphragm 432 will be pressed by the bottom cover 4316 against the stepped surface (unmarked) formed by the inner wall of the outer shell 431, thereby realizing the separation of the first cavity and the second cavity by the elastic diaphragm 432, and making the first cavity and the second cavity connected only through the connecting pipe 4351. The bottom cover 4316 can be pressed into the fixing port by interference fit, or the bottom cover 4316 can be fixed into the fixing port by thread fit.
[0051] In another embodiment of this application, such as Figures 10-13 As shown, in order to facilitate a reliable connection between the water storage container 3 and the second outlet pipe 12 to meet the requirements for water delivery, and to ensure that there is no leakage after the water storage container 3 is removed, the following structural improvements are made. The water storage container 3 is provided with a connecting pipe 32, the lower opening of the connecting pipe 32 forms the water inlet 31, the upper opening of the connecting pipe 32 forms the installation port, and the connecting pipe 32 is connected to the water storage container 3; A first control valve 33 is provided in the connecting pipe 32. The first control valve 33 includes a first valve body 331, a first valve core 332 and a first return spring 333. The first valve core 332 is slidably disposed in the first valve body 331. The first valve core 332 is configured to open and close the inlet of the first valve body 331. The first return spring 333 is disposed in the first valve body 331 and configured to apply a spring force to the first valve core 332 in the direction of the inlet of the first valve body 331. A second control valve 13 is provided in the second outlet pipe 12. The second control valve 13 includes a second valve body 131, a second valve core 132, and a second return spring 133. The second valve core 132 is slidably disposed in the second valve body 131. The second valve core 132 is configured to open and close the outlet of the second valve body 131. The second return spring 133 is disposed in the second valve body 131 and configured to apply a spring force to the second valve core 132 in the direction of the outlet of the second valve body 131. With the water storage container 3 installed on the mounting body 1, the first valve body 331 is away from the inlet of the first valve body 331, and the second valve body 131 is away from the outlet of the second valve body 131. With the water storage container 3 removed from the mounting body 1, the first valve body 331 blocks the inlet of the first valve body 331, and the second valve body 131 blocks the outlet of the second valve body 131.
[0052] Specifically, the first valve body 331 is sealed and assembled in the connecting pipe 32 by a sealing ring, and the second valve body 131 is sealed and assembled in the second water outlet pipe 12 by a sealing ring. In this way, the water flow of the water storage container 3 connecting pipe 32 can be controlled by the first control valve 33, and the water flow of the second water outlet pipe 12 can be controlled by the second control valve 13.
[0053] When the water storage container 3 is removed from the second outlet pipe 12, the first return spring 333 and the second return spring 133 are reset under their own elastic force. At this time, for the first control valve 33, the first valve core 332 will block the inlet of the first valve body 331 to ensure that the water in the water storage container 3 will not leak out from the connecting pipe 32.
[0054] When the water storage container 3 is installed on the second outlet pipe 12, the first valve core 332 and the second valve core 132 press against each other, causing the first valve core 332 to overcome the elastic force of the first return spring 333 and move away from the inlet direction of the first valve body 331. At the same time, the second valve core 132 overcomes the elastic force of the second return spring 133 and moves away from the outlet direction of the second valve body 131. At this time, the first control valve 33 and the second control valve 13 are in the open state, so that the second outlet pipe 12 can supply water to the water storage container 3.
[0055] In one embodiment, a first push rod 334 is provided on the first valve core 332, extending outside the water storage container 3; when the water storage container 3 is mounted on the mounting body 1, the first push rod 334 abuts against the second valve body 131.
